The economics of multitenancy refers to the ability of multiple customers or tenants to share computing resources efficiently, leveraging shared infrastructure to optimize costs and improve resource utilization. Key points discussed include the potential introduction of latency issues, especially during spikes in demand, and the impact this has on customer experience, particularly for developers relying on continuous integration (CI) processes. While multitenancy can lead to operational efficiencies, the user comments highlight challenges such as latency, which can be detrimental in rapid development cycles. The concept of 'priming the pump' in advanced serverless architectures is noted, suggesting that proactive resource management can mitigate some latency issues associated with traffic spikes. Additionally, the discussion points towards diverse economic factors affecting multitenancy, beyond just computing efficiency, including human and organizational costs.
